This is how I play the song. Suggestions and corrections welcome!
Sin Fang plays the song live on Capo 7. You can hit the transcribe button on the left to -7
and play those chords, but open chords sound good too! Play these without a capo.
[Intro]
G D Em D x2
[Verse 1]
G D Em D G D Em D
Big eyed child seems it was only a little while
G D Em D G D Em D
Since I could reach the bottom now it's an ocean away
G D Em D
Crept into the hallway to see if I could sleep
G D Em D
We didn't have much but it was enough for me
G D Em D
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Woo!)
G D Em D
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Woo!)

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]
C
To drift and dream
Em
When I grow up I'm going to be a sunbeam
C
To drift and dream
Em
When I grow up I'm not going to be anybody
[Chorus]
G D
And then when I get older
G D
I'll let you stand on my shoulder
G D
I'll be a rock a boulder
G D
I'll be your spirit hand holder
G D C
G D Em D x2
[Verse 2]
G D Em D G D Em D
And you're lying in some cold room thinking about what they told you
G D Em D G D Em D
They all say they know you but they don't know you
G D Em D
And you're sleeping in the some cold house
G D Em D
With someone you don't care about
G D Em D
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Woo!)
G D Em D
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]

To drift and dream

When I grow up I'm going to be a sunbeam

To drift and dream
Em
When I grow up I'm not going to be anybody

And then when I get older
